And feet, earth's rugged craggy ways.

Yield you joy and confolation,
In the certain hope that he
Will regard your fupplication,

Grant your pray'rs, and much more give
Than you're worthy to receive.

C. THOUGH

we can't see our Savior

With thefe our mortal eyes,
Our faith, which taftes his favor,
The want of fight fupplies;
Our hearts can feel him near,
So that we're very clear,
His prefence is as certain,
As if we faw him here.

T. 124. 2d p.

Ch. As tho' we beheld thy face,

Be theu prefent

C. Let

C. Let us, 'fore thee abafed,
Be daily more and more
To tafte thy friendship raised;
Prepare, we thee implore,
Amidst thy chofen race
Still many witneffes,

Who can from heart's experience
Proclaim redeeming grace.

Ch. We'll to all mankind declare,
That thy paffion
Purchas'd our falvation.

[merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

Ch. Nought befides thee yields us joy,
Far too grov❜ling

Is all elfe, and trifling.

C. Open thy grace's treafure,
And all our hearts prepare,
That we may in full measure
Of thy falvation fhare!
O may thy looks of grace
Infure our happiness;
Uphold us, and for ever
Set us before thy face.

Ch. May our highest comfort be

The enjoyment

Of thy wounds and torment.

A. We will of Jefu's paffion
And meritorious death
Ne'er cease to make confession,
Till we give up our breath,
Till we in heav'nly light
Shall fee his face most bright,
And with the Saints in glory
In fangs of praise unite

(Pf. xli. 12.)
